I am experiencing this bug. It is a critical one to me too, because it
can lead to the loss of many e-mails, and I have actually lost some
before noticing there were still available when checking "show deleted
messages".

I tell you how I can reproduce it on my machine :

I have a professional pop account, an imap account on Free.fr and I
access my gmail account through imap.

I want to switch to gmail so I copied all my message from the local
folders to gmail. It worked almost perfectly (except some subfolders
thad failed to be created but I think it is gmail related).

Then I tried to copy my messages from the imap account to gmail : no
mail were transfered. I then tried to move manually some mails from the
imap Inbox to gmail : the messages simply disappeared and I had to check
"show deleted messages" to recover them.

Please at least prevent users to do dangerous operations, mails are very
important data.

I use an up to date Hardy 64bits.

I attach a log obtained by opening evolution with "CAMEL_DEBUG=all
evolution >& evo.log", trying to move one message from the imap account
to gmail and closing evolution. I have not been able to see anything
suspicious but maybe you will.

Update : I have just tried all possible transfers with two messages
(text I sent to myself and everything worked fine. I tried with another
mail that wasn't from me and transfers from local to gmail and from imap
to gmail failed. It seems to affect messages randomly, but an affected
message would fail with a 100% probability.

It seems that mails with images are more likely to fail...

I hope I can help, thank you.

Jim.
